The Godwit

They are back. They arrived a few days ago at the estuary after their 11000 kilometer non stop flight.

On the next sunny day, we are going down to see them.

On the T V news last night, a guy wants them removed from the protected species list and suggests that people be allowed to eat them.

Rather than that, why not sell six breeding pairs to an interested person and allow theme to breed in captivity.

The deal being, that 50 per cent of the chicks are returned to D O C to be released - and the remainder used by the breeder to build up stocks and sell to people who want to eat them.
